Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ New Friends ❯ So They Meet ( Chapter 1 )

"Is that a new Gundam?" Duo asked over his intercom

"Looks like it to me." Quatre replied

"Where'd it come from?" Duo breathed

"Lets ask the pilot. Maybe the pilot can tell us who sent him and why." Trowa part in

"Good idea" Heero replied back to them.

These four gundam boys were fighting a new group that had branched off from OZ called The White Fang. Quatre turned on his COM

"New Gundam, who are you? Where do you come from?"

On all their screens a person in shadow appeared. Sitting forward, they saw a girl who was pale white with white hair and blue eyes that pierced like a knife. A smile grew on her face

"Hello. My name is Kathryn. Call me Kat for short. I've been looking for you guys for a while now. I was sent to replace Chang Wufei. He was in battle and was wounded, bad. Won't be able to fight for a long time. So, you get me to help you out. Look, if you don't believe me, call up Doctor J, he'll confirm my story." She sighed, "Is there a place around here where we can get out and talk? Something to eat as well?"

Quatre smiled at her. "Yes, there." He pointed over to a colony. She nodded and followed the boys over. After making it inside safely, they landed in a wooded area. Heero was the last to exit from his Gundam. Quatre and Duo where surprised at how white Kat really was when they saw her exit her Gundam. But what really got them were her eyes, they looked just like Heero's cold, piercing eyes.

"So, where's the food?" She asked walking up to them. Quatre handed her an apple.

"All I have to spare." He said with a small smile.

"That's all right. So what are your names?"

"I'm Quatre Raberba Winner"

"Duo Maxwell," he pointed to Trowa who was talking to Heero "the tall one is Trowa and the other one is Heero."

"Heero Yuy?" she asked

"Yea, why?" Quatre asked back

"Doctor J told me about him. He holds a lot of pride for him. But you didn't hear that from me."

"What about Wufei? When did he get wounded?" Duo asked

She hand him a disk. "Here's, all the info on Wufei and the White Fang." She finished the apple and thrown the core into the woods. Trowa and Heero walked up to them.

"Her story checks out." Heero said

"So, Kathryn. How old are you and how did you run into Doctor J?" Trowa asked.

"My father and Doctor J were friends long time ago. So, Doctor J was like an uncle to me. If you must know how old I am, 13."

That got a gasp out of everyone. "What about you guys? How old are you?"

"We're all 16 but Trowa is 18." Quatre asked.

Heero gave her a cold stare. "Who made your Gundam?"

She gave him a cold stare back "Doctor J and I. Took just under a year."

A beeping started in her Gundam, she ran over to check it out. "What fun…" she breathed.

"What is it?" Duo yelled at her

"The White Fang what to play. So, I'm going to go play." With that said she took off. The boys followed her down to earth and fought. Her gundam was a mixture of all their gundams. It looked like Duo's, had Trowa's guns, Quatre's shield, and Heero's sabers. Within no time, The White Fang backed down.

"That was fun. Wow, we're in Los Angeles. I need to find someone." She said out loud but mainly to herself. "If you guys want to walk around, I know a place where we can hide the gundams." A map appeared on their screens "here, here and here." Red dots appeared. "I need to go find an old friend that lives around here."

"Hey, Kathryn. Do you mind if I followed you?" Duo asked

"Not at all. But call me Kat please."

"Alright." They land their gundams and took off. Heero, Trowa and Quatre went towards Los Angeles and Kathryn and Duo went east of it.

"How far do we have to walk?" Duo asked

"About 20 miles, but I have a car hidden somewhere close. So we won't have to walk that far." After finding the car, Kathryn let Duo drive to a house. On the way to the house, they talked.

"Kathryn…" he began

"Kat, please"

"Kat, might I ask were all the scars came from?" he pointed his thumb at her arm.

"I was shot about three years ago. By Jarod Greenwood. He is now the leader of The White Fang. But three years ago, he was training me to be his puppet soldier." She said his name coldly. Duo wondered what else he did to her.

"What about you, Duo? What about your past?" she asked, looking over at him.

"I survived the Maxwell Church massacre. That's where I got my last name. Before the church took me in I was a street kid. Stealing to stay alive."

"You should teach me how to pick pocket. Always wanted to learn how." She smiled. "Hey we're here." She pointed to a street "Turn here. Park in front of that house." The house was gray and had two stories. Most of the windows were boarded up.

"There was a riot at one point in this town. Lots of people died. Well, hopefully she didn't move on me." Kathryn said getting out of the car. Duo followed her up to the door. "Kate! Let me in." she yelled, knocking on the door. They heard locks as the door unlock and slowly open. "Hi. Can we come in?" Kathryn asked

"Yea, I guess. Whose he?" her friend pointed at Duo

"Duo Maxwell. He's one of the gundam pilots. The rest went in to town." She said as they walked in.

"Duo this is Kate. She is also 13 and a doctor. We went to the same boarding school. I was trained as a soldier and she was trained to be a doctor." Kathryn informed Duo. "If you were wondering." Kat turned and looked at Kate, "Is my laptop still up stairs?"

"Yea and there's a message." Kate said heading up stairs. Kathryn and Duo followed. Duo wondered if Kate and Kathryn were related. But Kate had brown hair and eyes. Kathryn was as white as a ghost. Kathryn stopped at the top of the stairs "Bathroom, TV room, down the hall is bedroom, computer room, bedroom." She pointed every room out. "I'm going to be in the computer room." With that she turned around and enter the computer room. Duo followed her.

"Whose your message from?"

"Doctor J. Hey Kate. Come here. You should see this."

Kate walked in and peered at the computer screen. "It's finished. Cool. Now I'll be able to fight too." Duo peered at the screen and saw pictures of another gundam that looked just like Kathryn's.

"So, Kate's another gundam pilot too?"

"Yep I am. Doctor J wanted to finish Kat's first because she more a fighter them I am. Should I pack? All your stuff is still in the hole in the wall."

"Alright. I'll grab my stuff." Kathryn said getting up from the computer. Duo watched Kathryn pull boxes away from the wall to revile a hidden room.

"I guess when this house was being built they were going to have this room. But it was never finish. So it's our secret room that holds my stuff." Kathryn informed Duo over her shoulder. She entered and turned on a lamp that was inside. Duo entered after her.

"Watch were you step or you'll fall through." She said picking up a black duffle bag. Going through the boxes, she pulled out clothes, weapons, and a rag doll. Duo gave her a strange look.

"My mom made it for me when I had the chicken pox one year. Only thing I have left of family." She sighed

Kate popped her head through the opening of the room. "Ready?"

"Yea. Time to go." She exited the room after Duo, turning off the lamp while doing so. Last thing she threw in her bag was the laptop in the computer room. Kate looked up at the house one last time. Then jumped in the car.

"Don't worry Kate. You'll be back." Kathryn said, opening the laptop. Her fingers started hitting keys. "We can pick you Gundam in the L6 area. It is hidden on a cargo shuttle heading toward colony L8767." She read out load. "Let's go."

"Do you have a phone in that bag? So I can tell the others." Duo asked looking over at the girls. Kate opened her bag, dug around, and pulled out a phone. "Here you go."

Duo took the phone and without looking dialed a number. "Hey Quatre, this is Duo. Kat and I are heading for L6 area, colony L8767. Need to pick something up. We also have a new pilot. Where should we meet up with you after our trip? All right. In three hours? Ok. Meet you there." Duo hung up and handed the phone back to Kate. "After we retrieve Kate's gundam, we're meeting up with the rest of the guys at the Sanq Kingdom. You'll two will meet Relena Peacecraft. She heard about Kat and knows you have information on The White Fang."

"You mean Vice Foreign Minister Darlian." Kate asked

"Yep. She is having a dinner party tomorrow night. We all have to go. Hope you packed something nice."

"We're girls. Girls all ways have some thing nice up their sleeve that make men drool." Kathryn smiled at him.

Duo sighed. "This is going to be a very interesting trip."

-Hour Later-

"You in there Kate? Is it working?" Kathryn asked over her headset.

"Yea. It's working fine. Time to meet this Relena Peacecraft. Oh and Kat I was wondering do ya think we could call her VFMD. I mean it's so formal and boring.... Or maybe we could call her Relena Pee..."

Kathryn laughed at that. "Hell why not!? What do you think Duo?"

"Keep those comments to yourself; well, in her presence. She is sending us troops to help fight off The White Fang. We don't want to her rethink that help." Duo stated over his headset.

"Alright." Both girls said in unison.

-Two Hours Later-

"These rooms will be your rooms, for the time being. Relena ask that you join her for dinner in couple of hours." Quatre told Kate and Kathryn. "I'll be back to show you where to go."

"Thanks Quatre. Should we dress nice? Like ladies?" Kate asked

"Most likely, yes. This is going to be a formal dinner. They will be others there who are choosing to help in this cause." He informed them.

Kathryn sighed. "That's what I was afraid of. Don't worry I have a nice, girly outfit." She said after seeing Quatre was done talking. "I'm going to go wash up now. If you excuse me." With that she entered the room she was given, with her black duffle bag in tow. Kate looked over at Quatre.

"Thank you for showing us to our rooms. I look forward to seeing you soon." She bowed and entered her room. Quatre smiled as he walked down the hall.

Kate noticed that there was a door connecting her room with Kathryn's' and knocked on it. "Kat?" she cracked the door open.

"Yes?" Kathryn was digging through her bag.

"Are we going to tell them? About our past and us being sisters?" she asked coming into the room.

"Do you want to? We will if you want to." Kathryn said over her shoulder

"Yea, I do. They need to know where we come from and what we know."

"Then we'll tell them all tonight." She smiled at her sister "Go get ready. I'm going to take a shower." Kate went back to her room, locking the door behind her. Kathryn poured her duffle bag out onto the bed. "There it is." She picked up a dark, blue skirt with a matching tank top. "This will do." After she had taken her shower and got dressed, she braided her white hair back. Next she grabbed two draggers, tied one to her left thigh and other to her right lower leg. The skirt had long slits up both sides, which left the daggers in plain sight. She picked up the shoes she brought but combat boots don't go with a skirt. So, she went barefoot. A knock came from the door. "Yes?"

"Time to go. Ready?" Quatre asked through the door

"Yea. Is Kate out there?"

"Yep. Hurry up." She heard her sister yell through the door. Kathryn got up and opened the door. She saw that Kate was in a brown skirt and white top.

"Wow. Never thought I would see you in a skirt. You look nice Quatre." Kathryn said shutting her door. "Lets go." They walked down the hall to a grand staircase; where the other Gundam pilots were waiting for them. Kathryn could have sworn she saw Duo's jaw drop at the sight of her but he was quick to close it.

"Madame, we ask that you leave you weapons here." A guard told Kathryn. She just looked at him.

"What weapons?" she asked

"Those daggers." He said point to them

"I don't have any draggers. I have sharp pointy objects but no weapons or daggers."

"Madame, please leave your weapons." He said almost yelling at her. In one sift move, Kathryn pulled out one of her draggers and held it up to his trough.

"Do not yell at me good sir. I don't like being yelled at." She said coldly at him.

"So you must be Kathryn." A female voice said behind her.

Kathryn put her dagger back in its holder. "Yes. Are you Relena Peacecraft?"

"Yes. You can keep your draggers. I know at least one of these boys have a gun hidden on them." She pointed a finger at the four pilots. "Shall we go in and eat now." The group followed Relena into the Grand Dinner Room. Many others were already there, sitting and talking. Silence filled the room as Relena entered.

"This is Kathryn, she is the one with all the information on The White Fang. Kathryn would you please tell us what you know." Relena sat down, as did everyone else. Kathryn stood in front of the room.

"My name is Kathryn Hunter. That is my identical twin sister Kate Hunter." Kate smiled and waved "We are both 13 years old and have first hand experience with the leader of The White Fang. His name is Jarod Greenwood. He was head of the Greenwood research lab on the colony L3342. Our father sold us to him at the age of four. He used me as a guinea pig and trained me to be his puppet soldier. Kate was trained to be his puppet doctor. "

One of the men at an end table spoke up from the background, "What were they training you for? Would the mission have had any impact on the space colonies?"

"Yes it would have. He was training me for my first mission where I would assassinate Heero Yuy. The Leader of the Gundam Pilots. After his assassination, I would then kill the rest of the pilots at a later date"

A woman at the same table asked, "And your sister? Kate was it? What was she doing while all this was going on? What was her importance?"

"Kate was working on a new brainwashing chip. It would have been implanted in Miss Relena Peacecraft's brain. Jarod would have been able to control her thoughts and movements for the benefit of The White Fang. He wanted it to be all done by this time last year. But before he could even begin his plans, Kate and I escaped. That was about three years ago."

Everyone start to talk. Relena stood up, "I have a question about you and your sister. You said you were identical twins. But you do not look at all alike." Kathryn just looked at Relena then the rest of them. She could her them ask the same thing. She smiled

"Now you know how Jarod is. He would try new medicines on me. His own makes. The first one he tried on me were eye drops. Now my eyes are cold and black. Not the happy brown-green they were. Next was a white liquid that burned like hell when it went through my vines. It was so painful Kate even felt it." Kathryn waved her hand at Kate. Kate lowers her head at the reminder of that painful day. Kathryn sat down next to Kate and Duo. She could tell Duo was staring at her. "Yes?"

He didn't say anything.

"Say something Maxwell. Just don't sit there with your mouth open catching flies." She looked at them with kind eyes. He smiled then turned back to his food.

"Men. Can't live with them but can't live with out them." Kate said handing a roll to Kathryn.

"And they're only good for reproducing." Kathryn finish. That got a look from Duo. The girls laughed. "So, Duo. Do you want to go make babies?" Kathryn asked him in his ear. Duo just got a nerves look on his face. Kathryn laughed. "I'm just kidding Duo. Don't have a heart attack on us. I would hate to see my killing you plan was carried out."

He smiled at her "I would have kicked your ass before you could touch me."

Kathryn smiled "Is that so? Want to bet? After dinner, lets have a boxing match. See who will win."

"What will the winner get?" he asked finishing up his meal.

"I don't know. We can work that out before the fight." She said with a shrug. She held out her hand. "Shake only if you mean to come at me with all you got. Don't hold back just cause I'm a girl who's two years younger then you."

"Agree only if you don't aim for just my balls." He said taking her hand.

"Agreed." Kate began snickering. Duo whipped his head around and glared her down, "And what the HELL are you laughing at?!" Kate stopped laughing and looked at him. "You. You're gonna get your ass beat so bad that your grandchildren are gonna feel it. Well, that is, if you survive the beating to have children." Duo gulped and looked first at Kate and then to Kathryn. Kathryn gave him an evil smirk; proving the validity of her sister's statement. Someone started tapping their glass. Silence fell in the room. An old man stood up.

"We are sorry about your past, Kathryn. None of us could ever understand fully the pain you and sister inured and went through. We will help anyway we can to stop this White Fang and we shell leave Jarod Greenwood to you." Kathryn and Kate stood and bowed in unison.

"Thank you, Sir." Kate said. "We are honored by your decision on this matter."
The night wore on to the point were Duo, Kathryn and Kate excused themselves from the dinner to carry on with the fight.
"Do you want to put on pants?" Duo asked when they found an open fencing room.
"Nope. No weapons. Just punches and kicks. Alright?" she said taking off her daggers. Duo nodded as he took off and laid down his gun and shirt. Kathryn made a `cat-call' at him as Kate whistled. Both of them did a scratch or two before going in a boxing pose. Kate put her arm between them. "3…2…1…GO!

They circled around Duo before he could move. He threw the first punch but she blocked and countered with a kick. Duo smirked at her and attacked head-on. Kate couldn't see what happened next; Duo was on the ground and Kathryn stood as the winner. Someone started clapping by the door. Kate and Kathryn looked over. Duo just moaned from the ground.
"Very good. I see I taught you well." The man smiled as he walked in to the light
"Jarod…" Kate breathed
Kathryn picked up Duo's gun. "What hell are you doing here?" she aimed the gun at him. Duo played dead on the ground. "I asked you a fucking question, Jarod."
"Now, now, now. Is that anyway to talk to your teacher?" he pointed his finger at her. "You have been a bad student. You tried to kill me when you escaped. That wasn't nice. I'm here to take you back. Both of you. Maybe I'll even take that boy you just beat. Do some tests on him."

Voices came from the hall "Aww too bad, I guess I must cut my visit short. There are unexpected guests coming." With that said, Jarod ran out of the room laughing. But Kathryn wasn't far behind. Kate pulled out her own gun and ran after her sister. Duo slowly sat up. "Shit. How'd that bastard get in?" he looked around "Damn, she took my gun. Oh well. Hope she doesn't mind me using her daggers." He said to himself as he put his shirt back on and took off with Kathryn's' daggers.
Kathryn followed closely behind Jarod. Not far behind both of them was Duo and Kate. Kate raised her gun and shot. The bullet grazed Jarod's arm causing him to bleed. He turned and shot at his pursuers.
In the dinning room, Heero heard the gunshots and took off running.
Kate fell to the ground, Duo stopped to help her. Blood poured from her leg. "Fuck!" she cried. Kathryn didn't look back to see what her sister was cussing about. She wasn't going to let him leave alive. She ran after him and shot. Miss. He shot back at her. Miss. Soon they were outside. The full moon made it easy to see. Jarod stopped in front a cliff.

"It was so lovely to see you again, Kathryn. But I must take my leave. Tell your sister I'm sorry about her leg." He smiled and then laughed, "We shall meet again, Dear One, and you can count on that." He jumped off the cliff to a car that was waiting below. Kathryn would of gone after him but when he said Kate's name, it hit her. Her sister was shot. She ran back inside were Kate was being put on a stretcher.
"Kate..." Kathryn looked down at her sister.
Kate smiled. "I'm feeling fine. It's only a flesh wound."
Kathryn laughed lightly. "That bastard got away. Had a car waiting for him. But he won't live for long." She smiled at Duo. "Here." She handed him back his gun. In return he handed her daggers back.
"No problem. Just ask next time to use it." He smiled
Heero walked up to them. "I heard gunshots."
"Somehow Jarod got in. Kate fired at him, along with Kat. Kate got hit in the leg. She's being taken to the infirmary." Duo informed Heero. Heero nodded. "I'll go look around. See if he left any unwanted gifts."
"Kat go with your sister, I'll go tell Relena what happened." Kathryn nodded to Duo's words.

"Aren't you gonna tell her that you got your ass kicked by a girl?" she Kathryn yelled down the hall after them. He just motioned for her to go on with her sister.
